Boston Max

His first win came at Dundalk on 23 April 2026, and he followed that up with another victory at Chepstow on 21 May. Winning at two different tracks — one in Ireland, one in Wales — suggests he is adaptable rather than a horse who only thrives in one specific setting. That kind of versatility matters, because it opens doors to more opportunities rather than narrowing them down.

Behind him is a team with serious firepower. Gordon Elliott, based at Longwood in County Meath, is one of the most prolific trainers in jump and flat racing, and his yard has sent out 210 winners already this season. That is an extraordinary number — it means Elliott's string is producing winners almost every single day racing is on, and Boston Max is part of that operation. Horses trained at yards like this tend to be placed in races where they have a genuine chance, so when Elliott runs a horse, it is usually for a reason.

Boston Max raced just one day ago, so he is bang in form and clearly being kept busy. The slight question mark is that his last win was seven weeks ago, and his most recent run produced a fifth-place finish. But with two placings in the races before that, the talent is clearly still there. At three, he has plenty of time to build on what he has already achieved, and with Elliott's team behind him, the expectation will be that the best is still to come.
